I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

187 – Final Preparation (3)

I left the clan house.

As we walk slowly, the reddish sunset is slowly fading away.

It must be dinner time. I watched the blood-red scenery and quickly checked the time on my phone.

There isn’t much time left until the appointment time. But it doesn’t matter. As long as there is no traffic, I will arrive on time.

Of course, you can easily move by jumping through space, but unless you beat Charlotte up and tie her up tightly, you won’t be able to recharge unless you turn her into a living battery, so you’ll need to conserve it as much as possible. I’ve been using Charlotte’s power too much lately.

I can’t afford to waste any more time on useless things.

I walked towards the wide intersection.

There were numerous vehicles moving busily.

I waited for a while for a taxi and then got in.

I spoke to the knight.

“Towards the Sephiroth clan.”

“yes.”

I have an appointment with Jeong Se-yeon today.

It’s not a very big promise, just a business promise.

If you ask why I’m suddenly meeting with the Sephiroth Clan Leader for business, I can answer like this.

Because I’m selling information to Jeong Se-yeon in return for payment.

After the conquest of the Catacombs’ Great Tomb.

I sold all kinds of information to Jeong Se-yeon.

Thanks to me, the raid was completed without much damage, so I was able to build up a certain level of trust. I traded information based on that trust.

Of course, at first he seemed a little skeptical, but when he saw that more than 99% of the information I gave him was accurate, he seemed very surprised.

It was not surprising that Jeong Se-yeon was surprised, as there were virtually no people with the ability to predict the future who had an accuracy rate of over 99%.

To begin with, people with the ability to predict the future are very rare.

So, even if you have a low accuracy rate, you can still be treated well, but a person with the ability to predict the future with an accuracy rate of over 99% provides you with information on a one-on-one basis?

There’s no way I could stand it.

As a hunter, you are exposed to a lot of danger, so information is very important. It is directly related to your life.

Just knowing the types of monsters that appear in a dungeon can significantly reduce the mortality rate.

Hidden dungeon locations, monster weaknesses and compatibility, types of traps, gimmick structures, etc.

If you know all this, clearing dungeons is very simple.

To put it simply, it is no different from a strategy book.

So, from Jeong Se-yeon’s point of view, she can’t let me go.

Maybe you saw me as a goose that laid golden eggs.

‘This is an interesting situation.’

But I can’t predict the future.

As you know, I don’t have the ability to foresee the future.

I’m just selling information from before the regression.

… … Also, the various pieces of information that the Sephiroth Clan had worked hard to find before the return.

I found it quite amusing that the Sephiroth clan was buying information that they would later find out.

Anyway, what’s important now is that Jeong Se-yeon and I are tied together in a business relationship and that we have formed a fairly positive relationship on the surface.

Based on this relationship, I’m thinking of asking Jeong Se-yeon for a favor.

Honestly, if I think about it from Jeong Se-yeon’s perspective, it’s a request that wouldn’t be easy to grant, but considering our relationship and other things, it would be hard to refuse.

‘By the way, Jeong Se-yeon’s behavior these days is a bit… … annoying.’

Could this be considered a side effect of becoming a goose that lays golden eggs?

These days, there have been more instances of Jeong Se-yeon subtly expressing her favor.

He would smile without knowing and even create a subtle atmosphere.

Of course, I’m not really trying to seduce you.

You’re just pretending to seduce me.

Jeong Se-yeon is a beautiful woman.

I am well aware of that fact.

Use your outstanding looks and youth when necessary.

It’s not blatant seduction.

It’s just about gently touching a man’s heartstrings as if you know it, and using gestures, eye contact, words, etc. to the fullest extent possible.

It can be said to be a skill that gives you an advantage in human relationships.

Even if it is a business relationship, the moment you start to feel good about the other party, you cannot think only of it as a matter of mutual interest.

That’s why Jeong Se-yeon is pretending to be interested in me, at least on the outside.

If you can become intimate with someone who has the ability to foresee the future with a very high accuracy rate, you can secure a lot of information in advance.

You probably wouldn’t want to let me go.

That’s understandable, I have no reason to sell information only to Jeong Se-yeon.

Jeong Se-yeon must also know that fact well. That is why Jeong Se-yeon pretends to be close and interested, at least on the outside.

Because I will want to suck on some sweet honey(?) in the future too.

I could fully understand Jeong Se-yeon’s actions.

‘But the reason Jeong Se-yeon acts like this… …I guess Ji-hyun must have had a big influence on her?’

Suddenly, the relationship between Ji-hyeon and Jeong Se-yeon comes to mind.

Jeong Se-yeon feels a strong inferiority complex toward Ji-hyeon.

Because of her origins as Sephiroth, her S-rank ability, and her being a female hunter, she has been compared to many people here and there.

It’s a bit unfortunate for Jeong Se-yeon, but Ji-hyun is a wall she can never overcome.

If you were to look up at a very high wall, the emotions you would probably feel would be despair and anger.

It was highly likely that Jeong Se-yeon had been swaying with feelings for Ji-hyeon, and it seemed that she was trying to relieve her inferiority complex by seducing me, who was known to be Ji-hyeon’s lover.

Of course, if he really succeeded in seducing me, it would be a headache later, but if he stole the heart of Ji-hyeon, it would likely have been an unbearable joy for Jeong Se-yeon.

It seems like there is an inexplicable thrill and joy in the act itself.

It can be said to be quite sinister.

To be honest, it’s a bit disappointing.

Of course, if you were to rate Jeong Se-yeon as someone who likes or dislikes her, it was close to absolute dislike.

No, it was definitely unpleasant.

That makes sense. Didn’t Ji-hyeon eventually lose her life because of Jeong Se-yeon?

To me, Jeong Se-yeon is not a very pleasant person.

I don’t want to just leave it alone.

But isn’t Jeong Se-yeon useful?

There are also corners to utilize.

So let’s just endure it for now.

… … Because I’m going to use it as a meat shield anyway.

After imagining Jeong Se-yeon’s face in my head, I slowly took out my cell phone.

‘… … I have quite a bit of free time.’

Since it was rush hour, I thought the traffic would be jammed, but I didn’t feel any significant traffic congestion.

We will probably reach the Sephiroth Clan soon.

I yawned slightly and then slowly turned on the broadcast on my cell phone.

I’m thinking of using some free time to watch a broadcast.

Then I found out that a certain channel was broadcasting something related to the Sungcheon Church.

– Amazing news! The Seongcheon Church has broken through the unconquered tier again! This is truly an incredible conquest speed!

A man beyond the screen was chattering away with a rather interested look on his face.

– The tower is almost at its peak! Will the Seongcheon Church be the first in human history to conquer the tower?

Now, there is not much left to reach the top.

While I was traveling the world with them in search of the Hidden Piece, Edelin led the Knights and conquered the tower with flying colors.

He directly commanded the scene and quickly and accurately broke through the unconquered layers one by one.

Although it wasn’t often that Edelin would blatantly denounce the Knights Templar, the effect was certain.

Because the speed of conquering the tower has become much faster.

Before her return, Edelin had a wealth of knowledge, powerful confidants, and overwhelming power. If she had put her mind to it, breaking through the tower would not have been such a difficult task.

‘Edelin has been appearing on TV a lot lately.’

As we started to seriously attack the tower, people cheered.

The beautiful saint herself conquered the tower and appeared in the media to wave her hand, so the general public couldn’t help but be thrilled.

The sight of her conquering the towers one by one without any significant losses was like that of a hero or a saint in a fairy tale. That’s why people called her by her name. Some even laughed jokingly, saying that she was truly chosen by God.

Various media outlets focused their reports on Edelin’s activities.

Edelin’s appearance was broadcasted everywhere, in newspapers, on the Internet, and on TV.

As time passed, the number of voices supporting and defending Edelin increased.

Now, Edelin was the center of the Seongcheon Church and a hero who was rewriting human history.

‘There really isn’t much left now.’

Thanks to the sudden attack, there are only three floors left until the final level.

From now on, it will boast a considerable level of difficulty, so it won’t be easy even for the Seongcheon Sect, but at the current pace of attack, it won’t take long.

There is no time to hesitate any longer.

The end is not far away.

– Aren’t you curious about what’s at the top of the tower?

I pricked up my ears to the words of the man on the screen.

‘It’s the top of the tower… … .’

This can be said to be a common question people have.

What on earth could be at the top of the tower?

Some said there was nothing there, others raved that there were many treasures hidden there, and still others feared that there might be even more powerful monsters out there.

But I know.

What’s at the top of the tower.

It is the near-omnipotent holy grail.

It is a blessing given to an ascetic who has overcome all kinds of trials and reached the top.

– We’ll soon find out whether the sweet fruit of a wish will be granted to the first person to conquer the tower as the saying goes.

Of course, now that it came to that, I couldn’t tell whether the right to make a wish was a sweet blessing or a terrible curse.

That is because the starting point of all evil deeds is desire.

If there had been no wish, Adeline and I wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Was making a wish wrong in the first place?

I don’t know, really.

‘Whew. If I reach the top again, will I have to make another wish?’

What do you wish for this time?

The return of my parents.

Death of the monster.

The destruction of the tower.

These are the only ones that come to mind right now.

‘Oh, okay. Let’s not think about it now.’

I shook my head.

I think it won’t be too late even after conquering the tower.

For now, let’s just do our best to conquer the tower.

Because I don’t have time to think about anything else.
